ActionScript 3.0 :: Passing Values From Constructor To Function(s)
Feb 11, 2009
I have a series values I'm passing (from an FLA) into the constructor of a class. I just want to make clear in my mind that, the only way to pass the variable params, to the function nowDoThis, you'll need a dispatchEvent or a custom event to send it along ?
As an example:
Code:
// constructor
public function MyFunction(_param1:uint, _param2:uint, _param3:uint) {
param1 = _param1;
param2 = _param2;
[Code].....
I have only a vague understanding of using objects and dispatch events. Isn't this something that people need to do all the time?

I have a function that checks for something when the user clicks a button. if that something is found, an alert comes up saying that it has been found and asks them if they would like to allow this to happen, or undo the action that caused the something to be found. the code looks like this:
Alert.show(thisString1, "Conflict: Multiple Projects", 3, this, conflictAnswer);
upon pressing "Yes" or "No", the conflictAnswer function will be called... it looks like this:
private function conflictAnswer(event:CloseEvent):void[code]....
but it didn't work.
EDIt: After reading the first respond, i've come up with this:
answers[0] = cPositions[i][0];
answers[1] = cPositions[i][1];[code]..........

Is it possible to define 'public properties' of an object in the constructor method when you create the object ? similar to..
var leftmain_scrollertext = new TextField({length:10});
I have a TextField and I want to set its maxChars, x, y, width etc.
when I specify one or more of these I get... 1137: Incorrect number of arguments. Expected no more than 0.
am I forced to specify each property I want individually after I have constructed it ?

Code:
package {
import flash.display.*;
public class airraid extends MovieClip {
[Code].....
when i execute it i am getting the error:
1136: Incorrect number of arguments. Expected 0.
This is at line 7 where it is creating the airplane object.

I am working on a side-scrolling platformer game. Because of this, I have a class that acts as a floor. I also have a class representing enemies. I am having problems with passing a parameter to a custom class' constructor. The class (SkullDemon.as) extends MovieClip. I am trying to pass an instance (called "floorL1") of a customer class called "FloorLevel1." "FloorLevel1" also extends MovieClip (I do not have a written .as file for "FloorLevel1"; I just exported the floor MovieClip to that class).
I am trying to pass an instance of "FloorLevel1" so that the "SkullDemon" object can land on the floor just like in a platformer. My main class is called "TME2_Main." This is the class from which I try to pass the "floorL1" instance to the "SkullDemon" class. This is how I try to create a Skull Demon instance and pass "floorL1" to its constructor:
[Code]...
What am I doing wrong here? I have spent a while looking for solutions (including moving code outside of TME2_Main's constructor),

I've drawn a pretty button in Flash and given it the Class name PausePlayButton. It extends PlayerController, which allows it to toggle on and off and control whether a MovieClip is playing or not.When I instantiate it, I want to pass a reference to the MovieClip it controls into the contructor so that PlayerController has access to the MovieClip's public methods. However, I can't pass a reference into the constructor of PlayerController, unless I can pass it into the constructor of the symbol itself and call super. But where is that constructor? How do I give the button a reference to another object?

I'm having trouble with the constructor for a custom Class tied to a library MovieClip.
Say I have a MovieClip in my library named Circle, which is tied to the class com.shapes.Circle . I want the Circle class contstructor to take 2 arguments, xScale and yScale:
public function Circle(xScale:Number, yScale:Number) { }
However, if I try to call that from in code, for example Circle ball = new Circle(3.14,2.0); , I always get an "Incorrect number of arguments. Expected 0" error.
Is it possible to have a custom class tied to a MovieClip that can take arguments, or does Flash not allow this? I'd asked about this before and thought I figured it out, but from looking at it now I apparently hadn't figured it out and had resorted to a sloppy workaround; I'm hoping to fix it now.

I'm used to building applications using pure AS3. I always pass dependencies into the constructor of classes I make, but this method seems to not work out well for Flex MXML views. It seems like I should define setters on the MXML class, which map to attributes in the tag/class instantiation. But using this method I cannot specify which properties are required and in what order I expect them etc. What is the preferred method to give a Flex view it's dependencies?

I have committed to doing something that I thought would be really easy, but I can't get it to work.I want to be able to call an HTML page containing a Flash movie and have that Flash movie pick up a value from the URL of the page in which it sits.So, I want to create a link to the HTML page such as: then want the Flash movie on mypage.html to read in the value John and put it into the movie variable myname.I can see how to do it using pre-coded parameters as part of the HTML that loads the SWF, but I want the value to be determined by the calling link, not predetermined within the HTML on the movie page.I also don't want to have to create a dynamic HTML page for my movie if I can avoid it.

I am using AS2 and passing some values from flash to php, flash files is on page file1.php values are passing fine, it pass values when user click button. When button is pressed
{ var myVal:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
myVal.flieName = "fileid1";
myVal.send("file1.php", "_parent", "POST"); }
When it pass the values, it refresh the page and Flash File is also refreshed and Flash file start from frame 1 and all the values on flash becomes default in other words when user click "file1.php" is submitted, so the page is refreshed What is the solution, that after passing values the page remains or flash remains as it is (not refresh the contents).

I have a scene in flash, where I have two movie clip buttons. Each button is labeled with "over", "down" and "up" state. I am using an URL with a variable at the end: [URL]. When the value is equal 1 I would like to see the "over" state on the first button.
I have following code in AS 3.0
Code:
// VARIABLES
var button = root.loaderInfo.parameters.button;
if(button == null)
[Code]...
But unfortunately it is not working. I created a dynamic text field, where I want to display the value of the variable I am passing, but I dont know why it is not updated, when I type the value in the address bar.

What I'm trying to do is this: "profilename" is the name of the attribute in the XML file I want to pull from. The XML file looks like this:

I'm trying to pull from the profilename attribute in the test.xml file, so I'm wondering if it's possible to pass in a value/argument in the addEventListener function as I defined above. Is this possible at all to do? I hope my explanation makes sense.

Passing Values From One Class To Another.
This this not seems a difficult tusk to understand.
I can able to connect classes to each other. But the thing is that, when I am going to construct some logic to load and hold xml data and only fetch the correct child object from it, I stumped.
Here is the starter:
I connect loadXML.as to Main.fla from Properties Panel.

I have a movie clip called form with 3 input boxes in it, I then pass these variables to a PHP page that emails them out to a specific email address, all well and good and this works fine.
However, I need to add a yes/no query to the form using radiobuttons, what I can't figure out is how to actually grab the variable for the radiobutton in the PHP, I had originally believed that the variable would just be the groupname of the radiobuttons however this doesn't work.
I suspect the radiobuttons variable isn't actually being passed to the script at all
For the record I'm using MX2004, AS2.0 and the submitting code on my submit button is:
on (release) {
form.loadVariables("/testarea51/email.php", "POST");
}

I'm trying to call a php file from a MovieClip, only problem is I need to pass some data to the php file for it to generate the appropriate HTML.I've tried getURL() with POST and GET values but the values I need to send aren't on the _root timeline so it doesn't pass the values I need.What would be ideal is some way of calling the php and passing in values of your choice.

Setup: 2 iframes (one has a php-generated list, the other my swf)
So this is what I want to do: Clicking on an item in the list has to pass info to the SWF file without reloading it. I think I heard / read that this is possible with JavaScript.
Thing is, it needs to be quick... hence the "JavaScript / no reload" approach. Otherwise I was thinking to just have the PHP-iframe reload itself when clicked and create something like a server-side cookie (a tiny text file with the choice) and have the SWF check for that file.
That would mean I could avoid using JavaScript (simply for security / compatiblity reasons) but it would be slower responding sind I wouldn't want to let the SWF check more often than once every 10 seconds or so (server load, etc).

I'm making a Flash invitation to a party, and I want to send it via e-mail.So I want to pass a variable to Flash in the URL like this:
[URL]
Flash contains a list of people invited to the party. So when Flash reads nameID = 23 it shows the name linked to # 23.E.g. "Dear Thomas, please come to my party bla bla bla..."This way I only have to change the nameID in the e-mails I send.
HTML Code:
<param name="movie" value="invitation.swf" />
With this:
HTML Code:
<param name="movie" value="invitation.swf?nameID=23" />
But it is hard coded and I don't know any javascript. make a script, that takes the nameID from the URL and puts it behind the "invitation.swf" in the index.html file?

I'm making a class called 'player', and really, I don't need a constructor function for it. Do you just outline the function, but don't put anything between the curly braces? Also, I'm a bit new with access levels. If I wanted my functions from my player class to be accessible from the main class, do I make them public?

Basic OOP question... I want to add a couple functions to the Array class so that my program will be amazing and make me rich and famous overnight. So I create a new subclass NewArray which extends Array. Do I need to write a constructor method for NewArray? If I leave it blank will it just use the parent's (Array's) constructor method?
